Why? Cherokee sales are on pace to top 200,000 this year. Obviously the updated look helped. In 2015 the best so far they sold over 220k and at the current average rate they could do 250k for 2018.

And you went back in time 5 months why exactly?

The fact remains that 200K units in the crossover market isn't red hot and neither is 250K units. The bogey is more than 100% higher in volume than 200K units that you think is soooooo amazing of a a sales performance.

The Yuntu has the looks to pull off those higher numbers. The Cherokee is simply OK at best, but looks are nothing that is causing a stampede.

To be fair, it#s not like pre FCA Chryslers were exactly engineering marvels or masterpieces of reliability and build quality; even under the Mercedes umbrella (okay, at a time when Mercedes had hit it#s rock bottom quality wise, but still)

There was a lot of Mitsubishi garbage before the Fiat garbage. One of Sergio's dumb moves was not inking a deal with Mazda so the latter could do for FCA what it did for Ford.
